In all, Kings Island’s rides and attractions gave more than 25 million rides.

Dennis Speigel of Walnut Hills-based consulting firm Theme Park International Services, who works with amusement parks from Ohio to the Philippines, said his favorite ride in the world is still at Kings Island.

“If I were heading to the last roundup and you said, ‘What do you want to ride?’” he said, “I’d ride the Beast.”

Son of Beast, which opened in 2000, met with maintenance and safety problems before Kings Island’s owner, Cedar Fair Entertainment Co., decided to move on, as the Business Courierreports in this week’s print edition.
